Two riders were already enjoying tea when Erla and I arrived at Bellis’s. Jim, who was joining us for the first time having inadvertently missed last weeks ride due a mix up over numbers, was sampling the popular Bellis breakfast. By the time our tea and teacakes arrived the other members were appearing.
Unusually, today was to be a joint ride and lunch with Watson’s Wanderers. Thanks go to Harry who had sorted out the arrangements. It wasn’t long before Harry’s group arrived and we all relaxed and chatted until 11.30am before making our way to the Carden Arms. Now Holt to Tilston can’t be more than five miles so what could go wrong! Within minutes of starting out the group was split by the traffic lights at the bridge over the Dee. Unknown to those in the following group the first group had taken the back road through the houses in Farndon to use the Crewe Lane track to Crewe-by-Farndon. The following group sticking to the High Street and the B5130 arrived at Crewe-by-Farndon first and assuming the first group were ahead continued to Tilston by the short route while Harry led the first group via Shocklach. Eventually we were all reunited and enjoyed an excellent three course Christmas lunch with turkey and Christmas pud. All good things come to an end and it was with some reluctance that at 3.30pm we donned our winter gear for the ride home. Thanks again to Harry for an enjoyable day.
Distance from Chester and back 34 miles.

Wow! The photographs that Glennys took have come out well. They add a real Christmas flavour to the end of the Easy Riders first year.
